Ash receiver



Oct. 8, 1929. F. R. BELT ASH RECEIVER Filed April 1e, 1928 Patented Oct.8^,` 1929 i FRED R. BELT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS .asnl REcErvR Applicationled April 16,

This invention relates to ash receivers and its primary object is toprovide an ash receiver which may be detachably clamped to a card tableor otherpiece of furniture and moved into and out of operative positionas required.

Another object is to provide an ash receiver comprising a receptacle inthe form of a cup which may be swung out of the Way la and concealedunder a table ledge or the arm of a chair when not in use and swung outfrom under Vthe ledge or the arm when required for use. n

ln the accompanying drawing illustrating 3 av selected embodiment of theinvention, the

views are as follows:

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of my novel ash receiver applied to a tableledge.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device a shown in Fig. 1 on anenlarged scale. h Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3` 3of Fig. 2.

Figll is a detail plan view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a detail of the parts.

Fig. 6 is a detail elevation of another part.

Referring to the drawings, 10 designates a tubular post provided with anelongated 3 slot 11 in one side and a clamping arm 12 rigidly connectedto the top thereof. A slidable arm 13 provided with an anular collar 14`is adapted to slide on the post l0. A center lug or core 15 is arrangedin the collar 14 and is connected to one side thereof by a web 16. Thepost. 10 fits into the collar 14:, and the core 15 lits within the post10, the web 16 sliding within the slot 11. This construction keeps thearm 13 in proper position relative to the post, and the parts are soconstructed that when the slidable arm 13 is applied to the post, thearms 13 and 12 will be opposite and spaced from each other as shown in'Fig. 2. The post 10 is screw-threaded at its lower end to receive a cap17, Fig. 3.

A spring 18 is arranged within the post 10 and is confined between thecap 17 and the bottom of the core| 15 to normally urge the arm 13 upwardon the post 10.' A thumb-` perspective view of one 192s. yserial No.270,168.

'to a piece of furniture such as a card table 20,`Figs. 1 and 2. Rubberdisks 21, or other soft material, are arranged on the arms 12 and 13 toprevent marring of the table when the clamp is applied. The arm 12 maybe concave at 22 to conveniently hold a cigar or a cigarette.

The collar 14 has a lug 23 integral therewith which is spacedsubstantially at right angles to the thumb-piece 19. The lower end f ofthe lug 23 may be elongated at 24, Figs.

3. and 5, and an aperture 25 provided therein receives a pivot pin 26which is embedded in an ear 27 integral with theannular ange 28 at theside of the receptacle or cup 29. 70

In practice, arm 13 is slided on the post 10 and urged toward the arm l2by the spring 18. By pressing on the cap 17 and the thumbpiece 19 thespring is compressed and the arm 13 is moved vertically on the post 10to space the arm 13 from the arm 12 so that the device may be easilyapplied to a t-able ledge or to the arm of a chair. When the thumb-pieceis released, the spring 18 securely keeps the two arms in clampedposition. The pivot pin 80 26 is th-cn inserted in the aperture 25 ofthe lug 23 to pivotally support the cup on the lug 22. The cup may thenhe swung inwardly on the pin 26 and concealed under the table when notin use and then swung outwardly when required for use. The various partsof my device embodying the present invention may be made of metal or anyother material.

My present invention provides an ash receptacle which may be detachablysupported on a piece of furniture without marring the same and which canbe easily and quickly operated tobring it into use and then moved awayand concealed when not required.

Changes may bel made in the form, construction and arrangement of theparts without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventionorsacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and I reserve the right tomake'all 100 ,10 i projectingoutward at an angle to and below suchchanges as fairly fall within the scope of the-following` claims.

I claim:

1. In an ash receiver, the combination of a support comprising a tubularpost, a rigid clamping arm on said post, another clamping arm movable onsaid post, a spring within the post acting upon the movable arm foreooperating with the rigid arm to clamp the post upon' a table, a lug onsaid movable arm the top thereof, and a cup pivotally engaged witlrth'elug and adapted to be swung about ,thel lugunder the movable arm andtable or outifvard from the table.

2;..In`van ash receiver, the combination of la support comprising atubular post,'a. rigid elampingaim on said post, another velainpingvarmniovable on the post, a spring -withn the post acting upon themovable arm for cooperating with the rigid arm to clamp the post upon atable, a lug on said movable arm projecting laterally therefrom andhaving a pivotl opening7 aeup and a pivot pin on the cup and(leta'eliably engageable with Said opening'for swinging movement underthe niovable'arm and table or projecting outward .from the table.

3. In an ashieceivei, the combination of a support comprising a tubularlpost having a slot in its side, a removable cap on the lower end and arigidclamping arm on the upper` end of said post, another clamping armhaving alcollar,sa}id collar being movable on the post and having a corewithin the post and a connecting web in the slot, a. Spring confinedwithin the post between the cap and the core,

a lug on the Collar, and a cup pivotally and de'tacliably engaged withthe lug and adapted to be swung under the movable arm and table oroutward from the table.
